Discover Festive Anniversary at Paperfold University in Star Rail 2.6!

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6: Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age Arrives October 23rd

HoYoverse has unveiled details for Honkai: Star Rail's version 2.6 update, titled "Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age," launching October 23rd. This update transports players to Penacony and its vibrant Paperfold University, celebrating its anniversary with a bustling campus atmosphere.

New Content and Characters

The highlight of version 2.6 is the introduction of Rappa, a 5-star Galaxy Ranger who also identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay revolves around ninjutsu, incorporating ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and rap elements. Rappa's ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, features a first-person perspective, allowing players to decimate enemies and significantly reduce their Toughness. Her mission? To hunt down the villainous Evil Ninja Osaru.

Events and Gameplay

The "Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription" event tasks players with managing a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa to deliver an electrifying performance. Limited-time banner reruns for 5-star characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron, and Aventurine will also be featured throughout the update's first and second halves.

The Simulated Universe receives a substantial upgrade, promising an even more challenging experience than previous additions like Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears. The third DLC, "The Unknowable Domain," introduces a massive void connected to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts among scholars vying for control of the Scepter—a potent external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons. Players will collect, upgrade, and synergize Scepters to overcome a formidable final boss.
